Hey that's me! Talking about what I do at @TheVentureCity while repping my favorite band @TheWarOnDrugs.
Most VCs don’t have a data team, let alone a Chief Data Officer. But we’re different. Here is our Chief Data Officer, @dksmith01, explaining what he does here at @TheVentureCity. #DataAnalytics #VC

I encourage any #startup #founder to try this out and let us know what you think. It's an AI that gives you feedback on your startup, using the insights we have gained in the last six years at @TheVentureCity .
We just shipped our second product 🙌. AHA is our #GenAI product that lets founders get real-world tactics for their startups as if they were speaking to TheVentureCity investment team. VCs don't really build products for founders, but we do. 👉
